With the season fast approaching its time to start predicting the 2012 ladder. As with most VFL seasons its very open.
1. Port Melbourne
2. Werribee
3. Geelong
4. Sandringham
5. Williamstown
6. Box Hill
7. North Ballarat
8. Casey
9. Coburg
10. Northern Blues
11. Frankston
12. Collingwood
13. Bendigo
Geelong have a maturing list and could be the big improvers. They'll need luck with injury though. Sandringham are also expected to improve. Ross Lyon's departure from St.Kilda should help the Zebra's. I still think Port Melbourne will be hard to beat. They won't be so dominant but they should still make the top 4.
I've tipped Bendigo to win the wooden spoon. They haven't got a bad VFL list, though it's hard to see them geiling well with Essendon in what is the final year of the alignment.
Anyone of the top 10 sides could play finals.
